Scoring System Definitions

---

The “scoring system” has been designed to use as a guideline, to help in maintaining consistency while rating the properties that pertain to you.  The “scoring system” can be used to rate homes, condo’s, modular homes, apartments, and investment property. In addition the same “scoring system” can be used to rate Builders, Real-Estate and/or Leasing Agents.

 

We have opted to utilize a, one (1) to, nine (9), and “scoring system” for the following reasons. A rating of (0) zero ignores the field and does not downgrade its rating.

 

       It gives you a wider choice of scoring each area making for a more accurate average score, then say if a, one (1) to five (5), rating was used.

 

       It also minimizes the time when inputting the scores into the program. (ex; a rating of (6) is a single key stroke, where a (10) takes a double key stroke of a “1” and a “0”).

Below, the one (1), five (5) and nine (9) ratings are defined. The ratings in between these numbers can be used more efficiently when the Rater understands these “three” ratings.

 

Rating of:

1         This is the lowest rating you can give. If there was a zero, you would have scored it that way. Here are a few examples of when you might use the one “1”.

 

       The property you toured had too many defects, or was of no interest at all. (Ex; you would like a three stall garage and this particular home had no garage. If this were the case you would circle “1” on the rating sheet under “sufficient garage size”).

      The Agent or Builder had no time for you and allowed only five minutes for the “Interview” because they were “going golfing”. They gave the impression they didn’t have time for you, and had more important things to do. You would likely give “Rushed Interview” a “1”on the rating sheet.

5         The “five” being in the middle between “1” and “9” represents “average” on the rating sheets. Here are a few examples when you might use the “5” five.

 

       The property you are rating needs some work, such as paint. Because repainting can be an easy and inexpensive fix, it may rate a “5” on the rating sheet under “Interior Paint Condition”. Using the garage example again from above, (Ex; you want a three stall garage; this particular property has a two stall garage so it may rate a “5” on the “Rate a Home” rating sheet under “sufficient garage size”. If the property had a one stall garage, it may rate as a “2, 3, or 4”).

 

      The Agent or Builder show up for the “Interview” ten minutes late. They appear to be unorganized, but friendly, and professional. You may rate a “5” on the “Interview Rating” sheet under “First Impression”.

 

9         The “nine” rating is the highest score you can give. You were totally impressed, and in your opinion is the best of the best. Here are a few examples of when you might use the “9” nine.

 

       The property you rated is in perfect condition, and exactly what you’ve been looking for. If this were the case, the “9” rating is warranted. Back to the garage example from above, (Ex; you are looking for a three stall garage and this property has just that. On the “Rate a Home” rating sheet, you would circle a “9” under “sufficient garage size”).

 

      The Agent or the Builder answered, to your satisfaction, every question you had for them. In fact, they went above and beyond your expectations by explaining, in layman terms, how their area of expertise worked. Even though the knowledge they possessed was over your head, it was explained so you understood it. In this situation, you would most likely circle a “9” on the “Interview Sheet” under “knowledge of industry”.
